Insights
Peak result came in 1981 at Wimbledon
Francisco Gonzalez’s best Grand Slam showing was a single R16, achieved at Wimbledon in 1981 at age 25. His next-best outcomes were two R32 finishes, while most of his remaining results stopped in the R64 or earlier.
His busiest seasons were 1979 through 1985
He appeared in three Grand Slams in each of 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984, and 1985, showing a long stretch of regular participation. The only seasons in the table with fewer entries are 1977, 1978, 1983, and 1986.
Wimbledon produced his strongest and most consistent run
Across four Wimbledon appearances, he reached the R16 once, the R64 twice, and the R128 once. That is a better peak than at any other major in the data, and it includes his career-best result.
His final Grand Slam appearance was at age 30
The last listed result is the 1986 US Open, where he lost in the R128 at age 30. His previous appearance was the 1985 US Open at age 29, so the record shows a one-year gap before his final start.
Most of his results clustered in the first three rounds
Out of 23 tournaments, 11 ended in the R64, 7 in the R128, 2 in the R32, and only 1 in the R16. That distribution matches his 18-23 overall record and shows that deeper runs were rare.
